Despite the complex modern burdens that come with living in the 2020s (up-to-date on the news, anyone?), one of the perks is that more eco-friendly household options are commercially available than ever before.
The climate crisis is alive and our world is changing, but luckily, we all have power over where we spend our dollars and how we take care of our homes and families. One of the most accessible ways to support our planet is by making our personal and household care routines as efficient, waste-free, and eco-friendly as possible.
It pays to start small …
Start swapping out mainstream products for sustainable alternatives as you use up what’s already in your home, prioritizing incremental effort over immediate transformation.
We have a list …
Our list outlines sustainable household products available for people to acquire across the U.S. However, we encourage readers to check out what local, sustainable household goods stores are available for them to support small businesses in-person. We are not sponsored or receiving money from any brands below. The list is by no means exhaustive, and we recognize that not all shipping options you’ll find are carbon neutral, but this article stands as a helpful guide for those starting their journey of sustainability.
As The Resilient Activist board member Briana Anderson notes, we’re not helping anyone by putting the entire responsibility of fixing the climate crisis on our shoulders, and much of that responsibility is actually on the major corporations and governments that contribute most to our global “carbon footprint.”
We can do our part …
But we can do our part by adopting a crafty mindset of reuse, staying skeptical of corporate greenwashing, supporting truly eco-friendly brands, and incorporating sustainable products into our lives. Allowing these choices to positively influence our health, finances, and sense of fulfillment can strengthen our personal well-being and capacity for more activism.
Lucky for us, living sustainably can be simpler, cheaper, and easier than it’s made out to be.
